This invention aims to provide asimplc mechanism whereby gasoline may be filtered, before it is deliveredto a customer, water and foreign matter being taken out of the gasoline through the instrumentality of a simple but ellective mechanism. I

It is within the province of the disclosure to improve generally and to enhance the utility of devices'of that type to which the invention appertainsi WVith the above and other. objects in view, which will appear as the description proceeds, the invention resides in the combination and arrangement oi parts and in the details of construction hereinafter described and claimed, it being understood that changes in the precise embodiment of the invention herein disclosed, may be made within the scope of what is claimed, Without departing from thespirit of the invention.

' In the accompanying drawings:

Figure 1 shows in longitudinal section, a device constructed in. accordance with the in vention, parts being in elevation;

Figure 2 is a iragmen'tal longitudinal section on the line 2.2 of Figurel;

Figure 3 is a transverse section on the line 33 of Figure 1.

The device forming the subject matter of this application preferably is made of metal; throughout, and includes a receptacle which is denoted generally by the numeral 1. The receptacle 1 includes a body 2 having a rounded bottom 3 carrying a drain cock 4. At a point intermediate its ends, the bodyl has oppositely disposedbosses 5 and7, the boss 7 being provided with an internal seat 6. A lug 50 projects from the'boss 7 into the seat'6. The boss 5 has a hole 52, and the boss 7 has a hole 53. The body 2 is provided with an internal circumferential shoulder 8 located above the socket 5. At its upper end,

the body 2 is supplied with an outstanding flange t). The body is equipped at a point adjacent to its upper end with an outlet 10. v

is threaded into the hole 52 of the boss- 5,

the plug stopping the left-hand end of the nozzle 14 and also holdingthe right-hand end of the nozzle firmly in the'seat 6. The nozzle 14 isprovided with two lines of openings 15,

' the axes of which diverge downwardly, as

shown in Fig. 2. The nozzle 14 hasa notch 51in its end, to receive the lug 50, and this keeps the nozzle'lrom rotating, so that the openingsalways are in the right position.

V A screen 16, made of a very fine wire netting, is supported on the shoulder 8. A ring 17 rests on the screen 16, and securing elements 18 pass through the ring 17 and the screen 16 and enter the shoulder 8, to retain the screen 16 in place andto clamp the edge of the screen tightly between the ring 17 and the shoulder-8. A lid 19 is mounted on the upper end of the body 2 and is held by securing ele V ments 20 upon the flange 9;

gasoline, moving upwardly, passes through the screen 16, which holds back the impuri- "ties, the Water tending to remain at the bottom of the body 2, from which place, the

water canbe drawn oil at any time through the drain cock 4. The pure gasoline-passes upwardly'into the upper end of the receptacle 1 and leaves by way of the outlet 10. The 1 screen 16 is of very fine mesh, and, as a matter in the drawings.

What is claimed 1s:

of fact, is of much finer mesh than indicated In a device of the class described, a .re-

cepta-cle provided with a screen and having an outlet, the receptacle being suppliedupon one, side with an internal seat and with a lug extended into the seat,- the receptacle being provided witha hole communicating withthe seat, the'receptacle having a'second hole" disposed opposite'to the first-specified hole, a nozzle inserted through the second hole, and engaged at one end in the seat, the said end of the nozzle having a notch re ceiving the lug and keeping'the nozzle from rotating, and a plug threaded into the second hole and engaging the nozzle to hold the said end of the nozzle engaged in the seat and to' keep the notch engaged with the lug, the nozzle having an aperture discharging 10 into the receptacle.

In testimony that I claim the foregoing as my own, I'have hereto affixed my signature.
